Use straps for a few select exercises where the grip gives out before the muscle you are working. Shrugs are a good example. I also use them for semi stiff deadlifts. I don't want to quit due my grip giving out. Dumbbell rows is another. I use them for these three exercises.

I don't know why anyone would use gloves. Doesn't a man's hand's supposed to feel like a man's hand or should they be soft like a woman's?

Gloves will also increase the surface area of your hand, making them smaller and your grip will decrease - like using a fat bar

So far gloves didn't make my hands soft at all. But when my skin is dry and cracks & bleeds uhh it is inside my glove and not all over the equipment. Which is nice! Plus yeah it makes it like using a fat bar and grip actually got a little better.
